yeah, since my excolleague had no choice but to work with them so he was kind of disappointed. if i'm not mistaken, he told me that they dont know abotu the business process but talks like they knew (btw, my excolleague is the pioneer group who start the SAP project for the asia region), some is not possible but they said is possible. that is why he was kind of 'kik sum'.......btw, if client talk maybe la but last time even the main SAP talks about ACN does not know what they are doing. below is an article on it....hehe
http://www.businessinsider.com/2009/2/sap-...re-dont-sap-hpqHa ha ha, I have seen many fantastic SAP consultants, presenting their best SAP configurations and technical solutions (user-exit, bolt-on, FI validation, FI substitution, OLAP,,,,etc). But, none of these best SAP consultants look at business integration, supportability and long-term business objectives. Whether these "brilliant" SAP consultants like it or not, Accenture delivers and they deliver global systems to global customers at world class standard. That's why Accenture's share price is > USD 40 per share and global companies Shell, BHP Billiton, etc like Accenture.

About what you guys say about accenture unable to delivery. There is a running joke about consultancy, it goes like this:
What does a consultant do?
Basically they take your watch and tell you the time.
That's true, many people have their watches but don't even know how to value the "time" they spent.

There's this joke :
A consultant turns up one day at a farm, and then asks the farmer "if I tell you how many sheep you have, can I have one?". The farmer thinks there's no way he can tell that, so he says "okay". The consultant marshals his forces, studies plans and graphs and pictures, and then tells the farmer "you have 4,760 sheep".
The farmer says that's correct, so the consultant leaves. The farmer catches up with him as he's trying to load his prize into the car. He then says "if I tell you what your job is, can I have it back?". The consultant thinks there's no way a simple farmer can tell what his job is, so he says "ok, go ahead." The farmer then says "you're a consultant."
The consultant is surprised and asked "how did you know that?" so the farmer says "you came up here uninvited, told me something I already knew, and charged me for it. Can I have my dog back now?"


Actually, "consultant" is a word with both "con" and "insult", add up is "consult".
